Who Should Start on our OLine?

After last night, I'm thinking our best bet might be:

LT - Max
LG - Pouncey
C - Legs
RG - Double D
RT - Colon

WTF was going on last night? Adams might just need some time to adjust. But Gilbert was being abused. As was Foster. And there was talk about Beachum being improved which I don't get? And Essex is Essex, the guy that can play 5 positions, but is mediocre at them all.

I'm worried Ben's gonna get killed again by playoff time. Unless Haley can screen our way to the playoffs.

LT-Max
LG- Foster
C-Pouncey
RG-DeCastro
RT-Gilbert

Adams was very slow and weak looking. What would Trent Cole have done to him? That was a second string DE he was facing. I think the others will be OK. I thought DD looked pretty good. Colon may have to go back to RT since he was a top 3 RT a few years back

Before this game, I thought our starting OL in Denver should be (if Max is healthy):

Starks-Colon-Pouncey-DeCastro-Gilbert

After this game, I still think our starting OL in Denver should be (if Max is healthy):

Starks-Colon-Pouncey-DeCastro-Gilbert

Forced patriotism is an oxymoron.

A government leader proclaiming that citizens have to stand proudly for the National Anthem or else they shouldn't be in the country sounds more like a mandated decree from a totalitarian dictator like Kim Jong Un rather than the leader of the Free World.

Our ability to peacefully protest is a fundamental American right, and any attempt by our government to squash this freedom is what is truly dishonoring the liberty that our Star Spangled Banner symbolizes.

Flippy, dont you think it's a little too soon to be going in this direction? How are you gonna make it through the whole season at this rate? Talk about an over-reaction...........

I know I'm over-reacting.

I was most concerned about Gilbert and thinking I wonder if he's really better than Colon at T? And then it was a chain reaction. If we move Colon back to T, we don't have an adequate G in Foster or Legursky. And then it's like dominos and every last lineman falls down.

The reasonable side of me says Starx - Colo - Pounce - DD - Gilby should be solid by about week 4 in the season and gelling come the playoffs.
